Stitch Library
Ink/Stitch stitch types can be roughly divided into three sections: stroke, satin and fill.
Stroke
Stroke stitches can be used for: outlines, line art embroidery or to add details into your design.
Running Stitch
Running stitch produces a series of small stitches following a line or curve.
Bean Stitch
Bean stitch describes a repetition of running stitches back and forth. This would result in thicker threading.
Manual Stitch
In manual stitch mode Ink/Stitch will use each node of a path as a needle penetration point, exactly as you placed them.
Zig-Zag Stitch
Zig-Zag stitches are a very basic option to create a simple zig-zag line. We recommend to use them only for straight lines, because they will not stitch nicely around edges. In most cases, you would prefer a satin column instead.
Satin
Satin Column
Satin stitch is mostly used for borders, letters or small fill areas.
Ink/Stitch will draw zig-zags back and forth between two lines, while you can vary the thickness of the column as you like.
E-Stitch
The biggest purpose for E-stitch is a simple but strong cover stitch for applique items. Mainly for baby cloths as their skin tends to be more sensitive.
Fill
Fill Stitch
Fill stitch is used to fill big areas with a color.
